Fallen Angel

By: Jessica Ryan Thompson

Hey!
Down there
Who are you?
Why do you look at me the way you do?
Eyes,
Like leather
Aged and tough.

Won't let me in- they say, 'you've had enough'
Down to earth
Feet on the ground
In all I do
I'm here for you
I'm your fallen angel.

Stretch my arms
Reach for the sky
My wings are broken
But I need to fly
Look at me I'm not what you see
I'm a fallen angel.

Fly High
Where the eagles sing
Fly High
Fix these broken wings
A breath of wind
A whisper of sound.

I raise through the mist
With my feet off the ground
Won't you come with me?
'Cause I don't want to be a
Fallen Angel,
Fallen Angel.

Hey,
Down there...
I Love you.
